Charity is not a potency of the soul, because if it were it would be natural. Nor is it a passion, because it is not in a sensitive potency in which are all passions. Nor is it a habit, because a habit is removed with difficulty charity, however, is easily lost through one act of mortal sin. Therefore charity is not something created in the soul.
Thomas Aquinas
Image

Temperance is simply a disposition of the mind which binds the passion.
Thomas Aquinas
Image

If you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
To bear with patience wrongs done to oneself is a mark of perfection, but to bear with patience wrongs done to someone else is a mark of imperfection and even of actual sin.
Thomas Aquinas
Image
All men are equal in nature, and also in original sin. It is in the merits and demerits of their actions that they differ.
Thomas Aquinas
